A little help

Ray Allen was partly responsible for holding Kobe Bryant in check tonight, and Allen contributed to keeping Bryant to 9-of-21 shooting. But he couldn’t do it alone.

“It was the big brother, little brother syndrome having Kevin behind me and having Perk behind me,” said Allen. “Because every time [Bryant] drove, I’m thinking I was playing great defense, and I turn around and they came to help.”
